Luke Campbell had to wait until after midnight to make his professional debut,
but then wasted no time as he took just 88 seconds to stop Andy Harris at
Craven Park, Hull.

It is more than 11 months since Campbell won Olympic gold in London, but there
were no signs of ring rust, neither did the move up from bantamweight to
lightweight bother him against an opponent who was seriously outclassed.

Harris, from Gloucester, had taken Thomas Stalker, the GB Olympic team
captain, four rounds in March, but he couldn’t lay a glove on Campbell.
